Can you get in a pool when you have your period without a tampon?

Question

My freind dosent think that you can get in a pool without a tampon when she has her period. She thinks blood will go every where in the pool. I have done it and blood does not go everywhere. Does it really matter?

Answer 1

you might be able to do that if your having a light day, the blood will actually dispirse itself throughout the water, as long as you keep moving, you should be fine... just dont stand or tread water in the same place, or the water will be more hazey-red near you...

Answer 2

it is not somehting that people normally do.  in a pool, thats just gross, other people dont need to see that, and they might freak out because of all the diseases out there today. and in the ocean, you might attract a shark (thats just  a fear of mine) but it might happen.

Answer 3

yyeah you can but do you want blood everywhere to make the pool water RED!?

haha.. use it. or dont go. if you use a pad.. it will just get wet and wont protect you.
